QIAGEN QIAcard® FTA® Mini Indicating cards, 2 sample area

Reliable DNA Collection & Preservation for Forensic, Clinical, and Genetic Research

QIAGEN QIAcard® FTA® Mini Indicating Cards are designed for secure and long-term DNA storage in forensic, clinical, and molecular biology applications. These cards feature two designated sample areas, allowing for multiple sample collections on a single card.

The indicating dye changes color upon sample application, providing visual confirmation of DNA deposition. These cards chemically lyse cells upon contact, eliminating contaminants while preserving nucleic acids for PCR, STR analysis, and sequencing without the need for additional DNA purification.

Key Features & Benefits

✅ Two Sample Areas per Card – Enables dual sample collection for redundancy or parallel testing

✅ Color-Indicating Technology – Provides visual confirmation of sample application

✅ Long-Term DNA Stability – Protects nucleic acids from degradation and contamination

✅ Direct PCR & STR-Compatible – DNA is ready for amplification without extraction

✅ Chemical Lysis for Cell Disruption – Prevents bacterial and fungal contamination

✅ Compact & Field-Ready Format – Ideal for forensic and field sample collection
